Ashley Judd Might Run For Senate Against Mitch McConnell

Speculation continues to grow as actress Ashley Judd decides whether or not she wants to run for US Senate.

If she decides to take the plunge into politics, then Judd might square off against Minority US Senate leader Mitch McConnell. According to KTVI, Congressman John Yarmuth said they are presently looking for candidate to take on McConnell. Judd is one of individuals currently up for consideration.

Yarmuth said that he recently spoke to Ashley Judd about the possibility of running for Senate. Although she has yet to make an official decision on the matter, the congressman seems to think she would be an ideal candidate for the job.

“I think she’s very interested in becoming a candidate for some office whether it’s next year against Mitch McConnell or it’s against Rand Paul whether it’s for some other office I don’t know, but she’s a very serious potential candidate.”

Yarmuth added that he currently doesn’t have any personal interest in running for Senate himself. He said he is more interested in finding someone that can give McConnell a run for his money.

Rumors about Judd’s political future were given an extra dose of fuel when Naomi Judd said her daughter was interested in “changing the world” during a recent interview with Larry King.
